What's your opinion on C's? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

G-Force Glockstar · 05-01-2006, 10:56 PM

Are they really that bad, do u think?? Cause whenever I get a C in school, my parents get kinda mad.....if I get a C on my report card, sometimes they ground me. But I really don't see how a C is so bad....I mean I know they're not as good as A's and B's, but C is average, which is right in the middle.

What's your opinion about C's? IMO, anything above a D+ is good.

C's are fine as long as they aren't on report cards, is my theory.

~LadyJess~ · 05-01-2006, 11:00 PM

I was brought up in a household where only A's and B's were acceptable. Sometimes even B's weren't good enough, my parents knew what my brothers and I were capable of and pushed us to always get the best grade possible. So, because of that upbringing I am not one who is happy with C's.

Now if it was my kids, I would still push them to do the best they can do but if they have a really hard time in a certain subject and the best they can do is C's I won't be hard on them because of it.

Usually that's how it is here in my household too.....I've gotten all A's and B's on my report card before so whenever I get C's they get mad because they think I can do better than that.....but really, school is getting harder!

As I have heard many times in a joke: "C's get degrees."

Mikado · 05-01-2006, 11:56 PM

Take that C as a challenge, use it as a positive and improve on it!!

I'd rather get a C than anything below that, but only in classes that I don't give two craps about (Meaning math and science

).

C is for cookie and that's good enough for me.

I feel the same. I sucked at school, so I was always happy to see C's on my report card. There's nothing wrong with being average.

I don't think they're all that bad. I got a bunch of them in school and I survived and went on to college. If my kid brought one home I wouldn't get mad as long as I know he tried his best. Not everyone is going to be a straight A student all the time. School comes very easy to some people while others have to struggle. I remember my dad getting ticked off whenever I brought a bad grade home but never once did he offer to help me with homework when I was having trouble. I think parents need to spend more time with kids and their school work when thry are little so they won't have so many problems when they reach HS/College.

My parents were like that. That's why they were happy with me if I got a C in any kind of math class, because they know how hard I struggle with that subject. If I made less than an A in English, I was in trouble.

Same here. I never got C's in math but that's the only subject where it was ok if I got a low B. But as I got older, their expectations became my expectations. The third quarter of my French IV class I was getting an A- and even that wasn't good enough, I forced myself to bring it up to a solid A.

Yeah, major grade whore right here.

I usually get C's in at least 2 or 3 classes so I don't throw a fit over a C.
